Can I apply for a fully funded Master's scholarship in Canada with a four-year bachelor's degree and three years of work experience?

→No, your ITRs and bank statements should not cause problems if they are genuine and consistent. IRCC accepts 6 months of bank statements as proof of funds and checks your income source. From September 2026, IRCC requires CAD 23,448 per year in living costs for a single applicant outside Quebec.
How long does the ₹ 30 lakh budget cover for a master's program?
→Yes, a Rs.30 lakh budget can fund a full 2 year masters in Germany, where public tuition is often free, but the same amount covers only about 6 to 12 months of study in the UK, Canada, Australia, or the USA instead.
Will scoring above 7 on the IELTS help me get scholarships in Ireland or Canada?

Scholarships like Ireland's GOI-IES and most Canadian university awards weigh academic grades and achievements more heavily than your English score alone.
